Assignment Alert: This task must be

uploaded and submitted on the Assignments

tab in MS Teams Click this video to see how. The Stolen Generation Click on the link to listen to an introduction about the ‘Stolen Generation’ and Kevin Rudd’s ‘Apology’ speech. Complete the reading detailing the reasons and results of the Government policy that took Aboriginal children away from their families. Complete the questions related to reading. Q1. Why do we celebrate national Sorry Day and Reconciliation week? Q2. What did the government’s ‘assimilation’ policy do to Aboriginal children? Q3. Why did the government do this and what did they hope it would achieve? Q4. What years did this policy begin and finish? Q5. Why did the government stop this policy? Give two reasons. Q6. How many families and Aboriginal children were affected by this policy?

Watch this Dreamtime story and try to find

the hidden message or lesson being told

through the story. This is known as the moral

of narrative writing.

Now watch this video lesson that reviews and

compares the Dreamtime stories we’ve

viewed so far and the morals that are found

in them.

Complete a Morals Board identifying the

moral within the Dreamtime stories we have

studied, and how the morals are showcased

within the stories. (How the Birds got their

colours & How the Kangaroo got its tail)

Include three other examples of morals and

how they are shown in their stories from

popular fables, fairy tales or Disney movies,

and use this Common Morals Chart to help

you.

Now create your own moral for the story

prompt ‘How The Quoll Got Its Spots’. Think

of how you can use characters and events to

teach that moral which results in a quoll

getting its distinctive spots.

Design a Zoo!

This week in Maths, you will be completing a real-life investigation. You will be applying your mathematical knowledge to think deeply about a variety of real-life maths that is based around the topic of a ‘Designing a Zoo’. Check out the following websites to get inspired for your very own zoo and what animals you would love to have! Melbourne Zoo Website & Map Werribee Zoo & Map Taronga Zoo & Map Task requirements for designing your very own ZOO:

- Come up with a name for your Zoo - Decide what animals you will have

(minimum of 14 animal enclosures) - Decide what other facilities you will

need to include (e.g., café, toilets, gift shop etc.)

- Use a ruler so that you will have accurate measurements for tomorrow when calculating the area of each enclosure.

Complete before your class call and post a

photo!! Winner to be announced in

tomorrow's call.

Do you have what it takes to

Outwit-Outlast-Outplay?

Today is your first challenge of the ultimate

Grade 6 Survivor Challenge!

Will it be fun, is it gross or just very

entertaining??

Your first challenge is to build a

shelter. The rules:

- Your shelter can be indoors or

outdoors.

- You can use whatever materials you

want - think blankets, pillows,

sheets, whatever you have!

- Your shelter needs to be big enough

for you and your tribe.

Q7. Do you think the Government’s plan was a good idea? Explain your view in detail. When you have completed the questions, listen to Kevin Rudd’s 2008 apology the Stolen generation and fill in the missing words from that speech.

These are assignment tasks and you can

complete all the answers directly into the

pages on assignment.

Use a double page in your workbook, or if you have plain white paper even better!! Your task today is to design your own Zoo. All animals need their own separate enclosures.

Think about the size of the enclosure. Are

meerkats going to need as much space as the

lions? Today you are going to draw each

enclosure and include a symbol to show what

animals will be located there. Make sure you are

creating an enclosure that you will be able to

measure the area of tomorrow- Rectangle and

square shaped enclosures will be easier! Want a

challenge? Add in some irregular shape

enclosures!

See an example below. Today you are just

designing your zoo, ready to measure the area of

your enclosures tomorrow! **Note the example is

missing additional facilities e.g. toilets, make sure

you use this as a guide but include all elements

listed above.

Please make sure you upload a photo of your

shelter so the rest of the survivors can vote on

the best one!

Some examples to inspire you!!

Too hard? Too hard? Too hard? Too hard?

Complete the tasks as set.
